Will be built in Brazil

Peugeot has revealed the Brazilian-market Hoggar pick-up.

Based on the 207, which in Brazil is a facelifted version of the 206, the Hoggar "subtly combines the robustness and reliability of a pick-up with the design and dynamism that distinguishes" Peugeot from the competition. More importantly, the truck has a payload capacity of 742 kilograms (1636 pounds) and a bed that holds 1151 liters (40.6 cubic feet) of cargo.

While details are limited, engine options include 1.4- and 1.6-liter units. The company declined to specify if they were diesels or petrols.

Built at the Porto Real factory, in Rio de Janeiro, the Hoggar will go on sale May 15th.

HOGGAR demonstrates Peugeot's ambition for internationalisation and confirms the acceleration of the Marque's strategy.Designed in Brazil for the Brazilian market, this pick-up is perfectly adapted to the local clientele's expectations. It allows Peugeot to endorse and expand its status and links as a local manufacturer.

A world first, it revives the historical savoir-faire of the Marque by merging it with the future. HOGGAR subtly combines the robustness and reliability of a pick-up with the design and dynamism that distinguishes the Marque.

With HOGGAR, Peugeot brings a touch of seduction and emotion to the world of Pick-ups.

The comfort and quality of the finish of HOGGAR will seduce the most exacting customer because it does not compromise function for style. This is thanks to a load volume of 1151 litres and a payload of up to 742kg, which makes this vehicle a point of reference for the market.

The name HOGGAR, taken from a Peugeot concept car, evokes a world which combines strength, durability and action.

HOGGAR, the pick-up by Peugeot, seductive, dynamic and robust targets a mainly male customer base who are looking for a versatile vehicle with a distinctive style.

This vehicle will be manufactured at the Porto Real factory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Equipped with a bold and modern design, HOGGAR is a new line in exclusive cars, 207 of Brazil, after the saloon, hatchback, SW and SW Escapade versions.

With this expanding range in the Brazilian market, which is expected to grow in 2010, Peugeot aims to have a 10% market share for pick-ups over the whole year.

HOGGAR will be launched in the Brazilian market on the 15th May, with three trim levels and two engine sizes : 1.4 and 1.6 litre.

Since when do the French follow Australia's lead? It will likely sell well in Brazil however.

I seldom see modern PSA vehicles that I don't wish were available in the USA. Not this time, though.
